├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ HeadLine: A Grape In The Mouth │
│ Story: A man, after 70 tries, finally caught a grape in his mouth. The │
│ grape was thrown from a sixty story building. After falling 788 │
│ feet at a speed of 110 miles an hour the man caught the grape and │
│ broke the old record of 660 feet set in Tokyo in 1986. │
│ │
│ HeadLine: Flushing Money Down The Drain │
│ Story: School administrators were shocked when they received their water │
│ bill for the month. It was nearly $8,000. The school decided the │
│ cause of such a bill was due to a malfunctioning toilet that flush-│
│ ed nonstop for more than three weeks. │
│ │
│ HeadLine: Gym Teacher Arrested │
│ Story: Once chosen Teacher-of-the-Year, the gym teacher was arrested when │
│ he encouraged teenage girls to dance topless. The male teacher │
│ instructed five 17 year old girls to take off their tops and dance │
│ around for him. He walked around the room watching and judging │
│ their performance. One girl took exception to the activity and │
│ reported it. The teacher was then arrested. He stated he found │
│ nothing wrong with his performance. │

│ Phrase Craze! │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ * Clip joint: any place where the customer is taken advantage of through │
│ overcharges. In the old days the coins were made of gold, silver and │
│ other soft metals. A shrewd person would collect the soft metal coins and│
│ clip them down so he could turn them in for newly minted coins. There │
│ were actual places of business that did just that to make their income. │
│ Those places were called clip joints. When the advent of milled edges │
│ on coins came about as well as printed bills, the clip joints were out │
│ of business. But many of them merely changed their tactics and began │
│ clipping their customers instead. │
│ * Diddly-squat: to not care or not know anything about a subject. The │
│ term actually comes to us from the carnival business. Diddle-e-squat │
│ was the term given money by the carnival people, who had developed their │
│ language so they could attract customers. The term came to mean a very │
│ little amount of money and today it is applied to many things, especially│
│ knowledge. │
│ * Loophole: to find a way out of a contract or agreement. Back in the │
│ Middle Ages when castles were built, designed into them was a room called│
│ a loophole. It was in this room that the crossbow was housed. The room │
│ was built with a narrow window then got wider to the back wall. It was │
│ so designed so the crossbow operator would miss being hit by the longbow.│

│ * Frank Harrington, a solider who was involved in the Cheyenne Indian │
│ attack where 50 calvary men and 500 Indians fought was shot in the │
│ forehead with an arrow. The arrow did not kill him. But Mr. Harrington │
│ was not able to pull the arrow out so he continued his battle. A shot │
│ from a rifle graced his forehead, knocking the arrow out, and Mr. Harr- │
│ ington survived. │
│ * George Armstrong Custer finished last in his graduating class at West │
│ Point. Perhaps this explains the Little Big Horn. │
│ * Another Liberty Bell, called the Columbia Liberty Bell, in 1893 dis- │
│ appeared completely. The bell weighed 13,000 pounds, stood 7 feet tall │
│ and was placed on exhibition by the Daughters of the American Revolu- │
│ tion for the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. No trace of the bell has │
│ ever surfaced. │
│ * The 25th Infantry was a rare and unusual group of men who managed to │
│ bring order to Cuba after the Spanish-American war in 1898. This infan- │
│ try was sent to Cuba due to an outbreak of riots, the men already there │
│ were all suffering from either malaria or yellow fever. The infantry │
│ went into to Cuba, never used their weapons once but brought order to the│
│ cities. The 25th Infantry were bicycle riding soldiers, all were black │
│ and were made up of 100 men only. │

│ * Commercials will always lie to you, after all, they are trying to sell │

│ * There is always a reason for everything. There may never be an explana- │
│ tion, but always a reason. │
│ * We don't know the whole plan. If we did, we would never be surprised. │
│ * If you work hard enough, any event can be made to appear mysterious. │
│ * God doesn't let us know the whole plan probably because He hears enough │
│ complaints already. │
│ * One's word should be as good as a piece of paper. │
│ * If someone flakes out on you, chances are they will lie to you as to why │
│ they flaked out in the first place. │
│ * Everything, no matter what, has a defense. │
│ * Stupidity is not a good defense. │
│ * Nothing is a sure thing. │
│ * Winning in court is a matter of law, luck and a good judge. │
│ * I say a lot of things but how much they are worth depends on who is │

│ * Most keyboards never learn to spell. │
│ * Typing by looking for each key is called the seek and you shall find │

│ NOTE: We held this contest during 1992 and it generated 11,152 votes by │
│ the close of balloting for some 1250 different BBSes. The TOP system │
│ received about 450 votes. Your individual vote can have a tremendous │
│ impact on the outcome of this contest. Further, the odds of winning a │
│ modem in last years contest, were 1 in 1394 (8 modems awarded). │
│ │
│ RULES FOR BBS OPERATORS: Bulletin Board Operators may encourage callers │
│ to vote for their system by offering whatever inducements/encouragements │
│ they like. There is one rule to this contest for BBS operators. YOU MAY │
│ NOT HANDLE ANY VOTE AFTER THE CALLER HAS COMPLETED THE BALLOT. YOU MAY NOT│
│ HANDLE IT IN ANY WAY. │
│ │
│ You may provide callers with anything you like, including postage paid │
│ envelopes, printed matter, solicitations, etc. But once they've completed │
│ a ballot, if you touch, handle, or otherwise deal with the ballot in any │
│ way, your BBS will be disqualified from the contest without appeal or │
│ recourse. │
│ │
│ If you wish to post an electronic ballot on your BBS, you may post this │
│ file IN ITS ENTIRETY. You may post any additional information you feel │

│ is appropriate, but this entire rules file must be available to all │
│ callers. │
│ │
│ Despite the fact that this contest has a minimum of rules, this one rule │
│ does cause problems each year. You cannot post online surveys or doors to │
│ allow voters to vote online. This is vote handling. You cannot accept │
│ ballots & mail or fax them in for callers. The rule of thumb is pretty │
│ clear: You can provide anything you like TO callers to induce them to vote.│
│ There is NOTHING you can accept FROM callers in any way pertaining to this │
│ ballot at all. THEY must complete the ballot & forward it to us themselves.│
│ │
│ We actually received FEDEX packages on the final day of the contest last │
│ year from BBS operators who claimed to have collected a hundred or so │
│ votes. Infractions are dealt with quite economically - the BBS is │
│ summarily disqualified without recourse or appeal. │
│ │
│ One new element introduced in the 1993 contest is date scoring. All │
│ ballots received from 1 January 1993 through 30 June 1993 will receive a │
│ date score based on the date of receipt. Date scores will range from 180 │
│ for votes received 1 January down to 1 for votes received on June 30. │

│ These date stamp values are cummulative for each BBS and will be used to │
│ eliminate ALL ties in the TOP 100. Since ties are quite common in this │
│ contest, it pays to get your votes in early. │
│ │
│ This contest is open to all BBSes worldwide with the sole exception of the │
│ Boardwatch Magazine BBS - which is ineligible. Commercial services such as │
│ Prodigy, America Online, CompuServe, are considered to be networks and not │
│ bulletin boards for the purposes of this contest. HOWEVER, individual │
│ forums, roundtables, or special interest areas moderated by a specific │
│ human SYSOP on those services & allowing callers to post messages in that │
│ specific area ARE considered to be bulletin boards for the purposes of this│
│ contest and may participate. │

│ with her & you end up in the bra department while she goes into the │
│ fitting room to try to fit a bra on & you're left alone in the bra │
│ section & all the women look at you like you're a molester & you're │

│ lady asks you if she can help you & you start to wonder if you look like │
│ you NEED a bra so you buy a lifetime membership to a health club & try to │
│ firm up those biceps triceps & such but you end up pulling a muscle in │
│ your wrist trying to lift the same weight a petite woman set down in │
│ front of you so you have to hold your wrist up to keep from passing out │
│ in pain & that night your wife needs to return her bra because the │
│ torpedo ballast straps were installed backwards & were recalled to │
│ prevent injury at high speeds & you're left alone in the bra section │
│ again but this time other women have left their husbands there too & by │
│ the time you realize the way you 're holding your wrist is bothering │
│ their macho imagery they've already locked phasers on you as the new │
│ member of the health club & they make jokes about dropping soap & snap │
│ you with towels & chase you out of town & you have to live in a cardboard │

│ I MYTHed That One! │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ MYTH: How many times have we heard this phrase from our mom, "don't eat │
│ between meals, it will spoil your appetite." │
│ FACT: Fact is, this just isn't true. For adults this could be true, but │
│ for children it is not. According to the American Academy of Ped- │
│ iatics snacking between meals is an important part of nutritional │
│ development of children. Because children burn energy at a much │
│ higher rate than an adult they need to refuel more often. A snack │
│ is the best method of refueling and will not harm their appetite. │
│ MYTH: When one stops working out their muscles turn to fat, right? │
│ FACT: Wrong! This is a myth many athletes believe, but scientific study │
│ of the human body proves it just isn't true. Truth is muscle is │
│ muscle and fat is fat. They are completely different tissue in the │
│ body and can not change into one another. The myth began because │
│ well developed athletes would stop working out but still consume the│
│ same amount of food to give them energy. When this action took │
│ place they would gain weight because of the lack of exercise. So │
│ many concluded that muscle must change into fat when not exercised. │
│ MYTH: Cellulite can be eliminated from the body. │
│ FACT: No it can't. Cellulite is fat deposits in the body and nothing more.│
│ It forms pockets as the result of muscle structure. │

│ Five things that women should never ask. - Author Unknown │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ There are 5 things that women should never, ever ask a guy. │
│ │
│ 1 - "What are you thinking?" │
│ 2 - "Do you love me?" │
│ 3 - "Do I look fat?" │
│ 4 - "Do you think she is prettier than me?" │
│ 5 - "What would you do if I died?" │
│ │
│ What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to │
│ explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer │
│ properly, which is to say dishonestly. │
│ │
│ 1 - "What are you thinking?" │
│ │
│ The proper answer to this question, of course is, "I'm sorry if I've been │
│ pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, │
│ thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I │
│ am to have met you." Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance │
│ whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was │
│ most likely one of five things: │

│ c - How fat you are │
│ d - How much prettier she is than you │
│ e - How he would spend the insurance money if you died │
│ │
│ 2 - "Do you love me?" │
│ The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the │
│ need to be elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear." Wrong answers include: │
│ │
│ a - I suppose so. │
│ b - Would it make you feel better if I said yes? │
│ c - That depends on what you mean by "love". │
│ d - Does it matter? │
│ e - Who, me? │
│ │
│ 3 - "Do I look fat?" │
│ The correct male response to this question is to confidently and │
│ emphatically state, "No, of course not" and then quickly leave the room. │

│ The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were │

│ │
│ a - Not prettier, just pretty in a different way. │
│ b - I don't know how one goes about rating such things. │
│ c - Yes, but I bet you have a better personality. │

│ WIFE: "Really, and would you take down the pictures of me and replace │

│ WIFE: "Is that so? I suppose you'd let her play with my golf clubs too." │
│ HUSBAND: "Of course not, dear, She's left-handed..." │
│ KABOOM. │

│ │
│ Yet something evil approached from the south and Carp realized he would │
│ have to confront it. │
│ │
│ To prepare himself, he rose, stretched his arms to the heavens and prayed │
│ aloud. The words that left his mouth were foreign to his ears but his │
│ mind understood them; they were the opening lines of an ancient Indian │
│ death song. │

│ The evil presence that he feared had entered the valley. Though he could │

│ He stretched his arms out to his sides, turned his face to the sun and │

│ "Life was good; God was just Let me taste of this place, this time But a │

│ Carpenter opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of the Team │
│ Eeeek offices, a bit distracted, but otherwise in contact with his │
│ faculties. Strange visions washed away behind his eyes and he realized │
│ that he had been on one of his "journeys," the kind of trance he had │
│ experienced during the last few weeks. He glanced at his watch and found, │
│ to no surprise, that hardly a minute or two had elapsed since he had │
│ "left." He couldn't remember much about the dream or whatever it was - a │
│ few fleeting images scurried into the darkened corners of his memory. │
│ │
│ The oddest part about these excursions was that he always returned from │
│ them refreshed. It was as though he began with a great problem, went into │
│ trance where somebody met him and instructed him on how to live his life. │
│ Then he came out of trance feeling healthy and happy - not remembering │
│ where he had been or what he had done but somehow holding the solution to │
│ his original problem. │
│ │
│ He felt that way now - as though he had an answer to something. But what │

│ must have discovered that he had been altering the company records. │
│ │
│ That was the reason the computer felt so funny. │

│ "Must be a bug on the line," he mumbled. │

│ Every time the young woman walked by the house she got a cold chill. Not │
│ because the house looked strange or anything but because of something the │
│ house had been used for. The young woman had experienced, in her short │
│ life, many psychic events and had learned not to take any of them lightly. │
│ She finally reported her feelings to a friend of hers who was a profession-│
│ al parapsychologist. He then approached the people of the house and asked │
│ if they had experienced anything strange. This opened the door to one of │
│ the most bizarre investigations of the parapsychologists career. │
│ The woman of the house told the parapsychologist of several experiences. │
│ The most frightening of which occurred right after she had her baby. Her │
│ sister came to New York to visit her because of the new born and reported │
│ seeing a woman in black standing over the baby's crib while the baby slept.│
│ It made her very concerned for her child and the child's welfare. She │
│ would get up and check on the child numerous times during the night as well│
│ move the child's crib into her bedroom so she could keep an eye on him. │
│ Further, during the day, the child was rarely out of her sight. But after │
│ several months of taking these precautions and not seeing the woman in │
│ black, she lapsed back into her standard habits of caring for her child. │
│ Soon her parents came to visit. On the first day there her father went │
│ in to see his new grandchild and came back out to ask his daughter who the │

│ lady in black was. This put an overpowering fear into her. She quickly │
│ rushed into the room and grabbed her baby and went back to the living │
│ room to join her parents. She refused to let the child out of her sight. │
│ Late one night, with the child sleeping quietly in the crib next to her │
│ bed, she fell asleep. Suddenly she was startled awake by the feel of an │
│ icy hand grasping her arm. │
│ On another occasion, her niece was there visiting. She came in during the │
│ night to wake her aunt because she didn't feel well. She found a woman in │
│ black there, pulling the covers off her aunt, but when she tried to wake │
│ her, she would not wake up. She shook her hard and still she did not │
│ wake. She told her aunt of the incident the next morning. │
│ The woman convinced a friend of her's to move in with her. The friend, a │
│ music teacher, had on her first day there her violin destroyed by unseen │
│ hands. On another occasion the friend was standing at the kitchen sink │
│ washing her hands when something came up behind her, grabbed her by the │
│ back of the neck and pounded her head on the kitchen sink. │
│ The friend would have left right then and there, but feared for her friend │
│ and didn't want to leave her there alone. She stayed, regardless of her │
│ desires to run, not walk, from the house. │
│ Even the car the woman used was effected. One time she was driving the │

│ down the street towards home when suddenly it began to speed up. She tried│
│ to pull her foot off the gas pedal but could not. She looked down at the │
│ pedal to see if something had slid down under it, but what she saw instead │
│ was the outline of a large black shoe over the top of her foot. The car │
│ reached the speed of nearly 70 miles an hour before it began slowing down. │
│ Finally a seance was held. During the seance all present heard clearly the│
│ cry out for help of a child. 'Help me,' was all that was heard, but it │
│ was said over and over again. Footsteps could also be heard, mostly in │
│ attic and noises from the basement were heard. What the seance did yield, │
│ according to the psychic involved, was that the house had, at one time, │
│ been used as a meeting place for a group of people who practiced the │
│ religious activities of Satanism. Black magic was commonly used in the │
│ house as well as children for sacrifices. │
│ That was enough to convince both women living there to get out, and get │
│ out quickly. │
│ The house still stands. Those living in it may or may not be having the │
│ same experiences. It is not certain. But the psychic stated there was │
│ enough evil, negative energy in the house it would not be possible to make │
│ it clean. │
│ The owners did not wish to be identified. │

│ HHS Fact Sheet on Childhood Immunization │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Childhood Immunization Key Facts │
│ │
│ -- Too few of America's children are receiving the immunizations │
│ they need at the time they need them: │
│ * Only about half or less of 2-year-olds are fully vaccinated. │
│ * In some inner-city areas, the rate is as low as 10%. │
│ * The resurgence of measles in 1989-1991 was a danger signal indicating│
│ that our immunization system is not working as it should. │
│ -- The price of vaccine has soared: │
│ * In 1982, the cost to private providers of vaccine alone for a full │
│ series of immunizations was $23. By 1992, the cost was $244. │
│ -- Proper immunization saves money: │
│ * Every $1 spent on vaccinations for measles, mumps & rubella saves │
│ $10 to $14 in long term costs. │
│ * The measles outbreak of '89-'91 caused 44,000+ days of hospital- │
│ ization. │
│ -- In addition to cost, the major immunization problem is ease of access │
│ in the medical system: │
│ * Parents need a more "user-friendly" and integrated system, │
│ where vaccinations are easily obtained. │
